Default Thinking of getting a myTouch...

It's about time to buy a new phone for me, since I haven't done so in about 4 years. I currently have a Behold, but it's about ready to give up the ghost! So, I went by the local T-mobile store today and saw the myTouch they had on display. Looks pretty neat. Anyone have any opinions on it? I'd be getting it from the store with a 2-year subscription renewal for $150 plus tax and whatnot. They're going for $200-$300 on ebay new, so $150 doesn't seem like such a bad deal. So, what do you guys think?

I'm a bit of a tech junkie, so I've had most phones... The Mytouch is decent. But it leaves a lot to be desired. If you wanna stick with an Android phone on Tmobile, go with the Behold II, it's MUCH nicer. Right now I have the Touch Pro II, which is a win mo phone. I'm waiting on the HD2 this march.

The Droid is a nice phone, but it's on Verizon. Now if you want the BEST android phone, get the Nexus One. It's through Google themselves, but it's on Tmobile's network. That phone is absolutely amazing.

get the g1, exact same thing as a mytouch, except with a keyboard. Its basically indestructable too which if your like me comes in handy alot. All android phones are basically the same software wise. I personally hate the droid, keyboard blows and barely if at all faster than my g1.

ive got a behold II, havent had any problems. i picked it over the mytouch cuz it had a 5 megapixel camera and flash. and the screen itself looked like it was higher quality.

I second the I phone I had the my touch and changed to a I phone and I will never look back. I have also used the new HTC and it was nice but it does not have the smooth integration like the Apple


Oh and I have my Iphone unlocked (every application is FREE) and I dont NEED to pay for the data plan so my bill is a solid 44 dollars a month compared to my GFs sprint $86 per month

You mean jailbroken? Unlocked is when you can use the iPhone with any carrier like T-mobile.

Yes, the motorolla droid. I have one, and has been the best phone I've ever owned. And that says a lot because I change phones about every 4 months.
